I’ve been seeing a ton of adds. I’m excited. I hope it does very well and leads to more GoT shows. I was excited about the one that was canceled, hopefully this show can lead to it being revived. [Reply]

I feel the same way. I re-watched The Wire, Deadwood and The Sopranos. I'm going back through GOT now. When that's done there really isn't much to keep me going with HBO. [Reply]
As for this new show, I just have no interest in it. Still have that bad taste in my brain from the way the original ended. I'll have to hear really, really good things about it before I'll drop any coin on HBO again.
The show I think would be far more interesting (rather than what appears from the trailers to be little more than an inbred battle of the sexes) would be one set during the time of the Valyrians. I remember thinking that when Tyrion and Jorah were traveling through the ruins. [Reply]
I've watched a few GoT episodes (S4-6) the past few weeks for the first time since the finale and its quality has only served to remind me of just how badly those two screwed up the final season by rushing through an ending. They effectively decided to destroy their legacies instead of spending a few extra years of time and energy on the show that had defined their careers.
Anyway, I'll watch this show given their lack of involvement. I'm interested in this universe being built up with this and other shows. [Reply]

I mean, did the original GOT not deal with misogyny? Both obvious and not.
It seems to me the only difference is Hollywood is using wokeness as clickbait these days. [Reply]
